A BATCH file (BAT extension) is a text file that includes a secuence of commands. If you write that commands in plaint text (with notepad) and save with BAT extension (also CMD works), you could execute from the explorer that file to avoid typing long commands.

Ok im pretty sure I did that part right. It looks like yours in the video except with my ip and key. So any ideas why it cant open OW? My header at the top looks like yours with the cmd line. Is there something I need to do with the open weather download? It tries to work when I click on the start file but doesn't. I really appreciate the help too.

Yes it says it cant open the Openweather file. I tried with and without the pause. Without the pause it doesn't do anything. Im sure its something stupid I did wrong.

Probably it's a problem with the location / name of the java file. In my BAT file, it's in the same folder, so no route needed. If your BAT is in a different location than the java file, you need to specify the folder.

Do I need to take the open weather java file out of the download? I just have the download in the file with the BAT file.

And the .BAT in same folder as the .JAR file. You can move the BAT to your download folder. In the video both files are in my desktop.

When together, execute the BAT and you should see a DOS window scrolling with a message of "started in XX seconds" at the end. Then it's ready waiting for querys from the game.

You can test also from your browser connecting to http://127.0.0.1 and you'll receive a message of invalid parameters, but that confirms that the server is listening and waiting for a correct query.

ok that was the major problem. I didn't take the jar file out but now its telling me the tomcat configured to listen to port 80 failed to start. The port may be in use already or misconfigured. Again thanks for all the help.
